Race Overview
The Illinois Marathon kicks off near the University of Illinois’ State Farm Center and wraps up at the 50-yard line of Memorial Stadium, which is a pretty cool finish. The course is flat overall, only about 85 feet of elevation change, and you get to run through the University of Illinois campus and the cities of Champaign, Urbana, and Savoy. It's a Boston qualifier, so it's got some serious runners, and the shoe drive they do every year is a nice touch.
